Sea Adventure: The landing of Columbus (colour litho)

8669341 Sea Adventure: The landing of Columbus (colour litho) by English School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: The landing of Columbus. When in 1492 Columbus sailed into the West with the idea that the world was round, and that he would be able to reach China that way, his men were terrified and mutinous, and had he not sighted land he would certainly have been made to turn back. He thought it was Japan; his landfall is now generally identified as Watling Island in the West Indies. Columbus was the first to land, followed by his standard-bearer, and as he stepped from his boat, sword in hand, with the wondering natives perfectly friendly, he knelt down and kissed the sand of the New World.
